Summary
It’s been happening more often in the past few months, bouts of uncharacteristic silence coated in something unspoken. Teasing jokes of Lance’s that settle oddly. Casual touches lingering a second too long, burning skin left behind where Lance has touched him.
The gradual change has been odd, but it’s easy to walk away from. Easy to ignore. Keith has gotten good at recognizing it early and shutting it down. If he’s being honest with himself, they both have.
And it's worked for a long time, but Keith is rapidly regaining his mental footing to to the press of Lance's legs into his side and the obvious diversion of his eyes, nowhere to go and nothing to say.
or
Keith and Lance get stuck in a box on a mission gone wrong and might have to start to confront their more than platonic feelings for each other.

Summary
Lance leaned casually with one arm against the frame, the other loosely picking at the hem of his open button-up. Familiar. And not. The same unconscious habit he'd had since the Garrison. Sleeves rolled up over forearms built from nearly two years of farm work rather than the feathered muscles of a trigger finger.
Keith let his eyes trail the drape of worn cotton over square shoulders. The shoulders he had traced with light fingertips in the threads of morning, the shoulders that had supported him upright as he bled out in an alien field. The shoulders he'd watched shake and heave over a toilet the first time Lance had shot someone point blank, the shoulders he'd held in a castleship bed while the roiling mess of the universe narrowed to the sliver of air between their mouths.
"Your fly's down," Keith told him.
Or: Keith visits Lance after the war's end. What they won't talk about complicates things.

Summary
Keith knows how to write. What he can't write, apparently, is a convincing sex scene. After one too many brutal reviews on his latest book, he ends up asking the absolute worst person possible for help: Lance McClain.
Unfortunately, Lance says yes.
Or: Keith just doing it for the plot (of his novel). Obviously.

Summary
“My Abuela said it,” Silvio insists. “She said you have to wear the hat, because you have a pale ass so you’re going to get skin cancer and die before Lance even wakes up.”
Keith looks between the children and the hat, too confused to glare, sweaty and horrid from pulling weeds beneath the scorching sun. “What?”
“That’s wrong,” Nadia complains, and yanks her brother down to her level to whisper the correction in his ear.
“Ooh,” Silvio amends. “Tía Veronica said you have a pale ass. My Abuela said you’re gonna die.”
OR
When Lance is fatally wounded during their final battle, the blue lion enters a deep hibernation with Lance inside. Unsure when or if he’ll wake, Keith is forced to wait and watch over him in the company of the people he fears most: Lance’s family.
